Unimpressive (SPOILERS)

I can sum this film up in two words: Jesus Wept.

For some reason a gang of gangster teens want to have a frank discussion with this couple's son, so they stage a home invasion.

Can you believe the first 10 minutes of a 74 minute film are wasted on snide comments between the couple who seem to be in a pre-divorce stage?

There is very little to keep one's interest until the father frees himself towards the end and beats everyone half to death with a candle holder. I actually did get into that part, feeling the anguish from having wanted 68 minutes for any action!

I'm sorry, but this was not very good, although with a better budget and a little more time and action it could have gotten there.

Meh. 2 outta 10. I lost 74 minutes. The horror.....

Totally agree. Except I think 2 out of 10 is a generous score.

It clocks in at a mere 70 mins (excluding end credits) but still felt like the most drawn out, boring movie experience I've ever sat through. The amount of pointless filler was unreal. Did we really need to see one of the characters looking through their DVD collection in slow motion ffs!
